I somehow missed this the first couple of read-throughs...
Ross Anderson, head of the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University, is unmoved by Wave's claims of a future as a TC titan. "I don't think Wave Systems is a big deal," says Anderson. "From the point of view of the big TC picture, Wave is below the radar." Anderson, a vocal critic of the TC movement for its willingness to cede control of the Internet's information flow to a few big companies, thinks Microsoft has used Wave merely as a "competitive threat" in its dealings with Intel.
Excuse me?
When and where has MSFT used Wave?
If anything, it's the other way around (the Intel announcement shortly after the MST/Intertrust suit announcement may have been a coincidence...I suppose)
